Week five granted 40% off dye modules and additional non-class companions, and 50% off mini-pets, a cosmetic item that can either follow a player around or be used as a decoration in the stronghold. But it is the stronghold decoration sale that’s the most exciting strongholds are player housing that can be used across all characters on a server and can be decorated any way the player wishes. Character, legacy guild and flagship renames are exactly as they sound the ability to rename any of those.
Most of the week four sales are self-explanatory 40% off stronghold decorations and character, legacy, guild, and flagship rename.
The legacy unlocks, however, are minor quality of life purchases that can also be purchased with credits. Since the game started, two species, the Cathar and Togruta have been introduced into the game, and the normal cartel market cost for each species individually is 600 coin apiece per server you play on. Now, while the flares are a mild cosmetic thing that is attached to your nameplate in gameplay, it is the species unlocks and legacy unlocks that are a big deal. Week three introduced 50% off flairs, species unlocks, and legacy unlocks. Color crystals are items you put in your weapons and change the color of either the lightsaber blade or blaster bolt when firing your blasters, granting a player a unique look for their weapon. Week two introduced 40% off color crystals and 50% off appearance options. Character transfers are also currently 300 cartel coins, down from their normal 1000 cartel coin cost. Normally, additional character slots are 600 cartel coins, so until October 21 st, they cost 300 cartel coins. Players have a different number of character slots starting out free players have four, preferred players have 12 and subscribers have 24 slots to start with, with additional slots being paid for with cartel coins. Week one of the Cartel Market sales granted players 50% off character slots and 70% off character transfers to other servers. Combined with the continued use of the subscription model, the Cartel Market has kept Star Wars the Old Republic going for the past 6 years, granting players unique armors, weapons, mounts, additional characters slots, species unlocks and stronghold decorations for them to use. The Cartel Market has been a financially successful avenue for Bioware and EA after the game went free to play in November of 2012. In addition to the existing sales, the Cartel Market has implemented a 30% sale on all Cartel Market armors, and a 50% discount on unlocking any item in your collections. Star Wars the Old Republic is continuing its hype train for the upcoming Onslaught expansion by releasing its final week of Cartel Market sales.
